YOGA & MEDITATION
Mantra & Sound
Therapy
Chanting, mantra repetition and sound healing with singing bowls and gong, used to settle the nervous system, lift mood and deepen meditation. Part of the detox and residential programs.
01WHAT IT IS
मन्त्र · नाद · Sacred syllables and the healing of sound
Sound reaches the nervous system before thought does. Mantra practice uses the repetition of sacred syllables, aloud or silently, to steady the mind and body; sound healing uses singing bowls, gong and chant to bathe the listener in resonance that eases tension and invites deep rest. Both belong to the yogic tradition and both are part of the daily rhythm of our residential and detox programs.
No belief or musical ability is needed. Guests lie or sit comfortably and listen, or join the chanting as they wish.
